Had a chat with Tim Witherspoon yesterday

[beenKOed]

I'm not calling Tim a fibber (liar) but a few factors that may measure that a false statement

Tim looked in shape and if he had won he would have secured a multi million $ fight with Mike Tyson

I also would have given Tim a better chance against Tyson than Bone Crusher

Job Biscuit (would of been a good fight)!!!

eh eh!!

I totally agree with this , no way would he have thrown the fight and not got his chance against Tyson.
I always believed Witherspoon would have given Tyson a better fight than people like Smith , Tubbs , Thomas , Briggs ETC.
Fighters are usually in denial when they talk about their careers .

Not only boxers, most everybody is in denial about some part of their lives, so I agree with you.
When Don King first entered boxing I think he was good for it, he was a character and generated a lot of interest. I don't know about the rest of you but he had me fooled, before the monster was revealed.
Don King, a first class predator, with the heart and soul of a man-eating leopard. Mr King would probably take that last statement as a compliment, when it comes to business, that's just who he is.

As bad as King was Holmes and Tim do not say too many bad things about him. They were thankful of the opportunity he gave them. Even Tyson.

Witherspoon family is pretty grounded. Only chatted with him once, through his nephew...I think is Chazz Witherspoon & his dad, Eric.

Anyone familiar with the 1980's R&B funk band Cameo?

Lead man-Larry Blackmon is his cousin which is Eric's 1/2 brother.

Eric's son Chazz is really a cool guy, I drove him around when he was at the IBHOF in Canastota a few years back. Invited me to the Arreola fight, that was when I met Tim. Sad night for the Witherspoons.
